Student Rights & Responsibilities: Attendance Policy

Students may not attend any class unless they have been officially registered, paid fees and received a valid receipt from the college cashier.

Instructors may not allow a student to attend their class if the student's name is not on the official class roster. Students who are officially enrolled in credit classes must be in attendance or communicate with the instructor no later than the first scheduled class. Students who are absent without prior approval of the instructor or the division/department chair may be withdrawn by the college.

Note: Students should not assume that they have been dropped if they have not attended class on the first day. This procedure is usually implemented only when there are other students waiting to enroll in that class.
